About this title

Review:

Brilliant...Sure to delight Frank's fans and win her new admirers. ("Publishers Weekly")

"Isle of Palms is as light and gratifying as a sand dollar just washed to shore."--The Atlanta Journal and Constitution
"Entertaining...Garrulous, engaging Anna's a treat, talking up a storm about life in the South Carolina Low Country as she makes her second coming of age. Really, it's best just to take Anna's initial advice--sit back, relax, sip some sweet tea and listen up. She's got a story to tell."--The Orlando Sentinel
"[A] page-turner."--St. Petersburg Times
"Beneath the Fannie Flagg-style jocularity and small town anecdotes lies a more serious subject: loneliness. Credit this unlikely cast of characters with having the strength to form unconventional loving relationships, an ad hoc family of sorts, to fill the void left by their less-than-perfect biological ones. Upbeat and uplifting, Anna's song is one of hope in the face of modern realities for all those whose dreams have been derailed by circumstance."--The Fort Myers News-Press
